NPM is currently looking for a Journal and Publications Coordinator for MAI Journal: A New Zealand Journal of Indigenous Scholarship. MAI Journal is an open access peer-reviewed academic journal in Indigenous Scholarship engaging in issues specific to Aotearoa, New Zealand.

This varied publishing role involves coordination of MAI Journal and other NPM publishing projects, including peer review, production standards, web and content hosting and online publishing management, working with a wide range of Indigenous and non-indigenous academic scholars across New Zealand.

This 100th entry celebrates and acknowledges the ground-breaking work of Professor Tahu Kukutai (Waikato, Ngāti Maniapoto, Te Aupouri) and John Taylor and is the first book to focus on this new and emerging field.

Continuing a proud tradition of investing in and supporting Māori graduate scholarship to create new dynamic international opportunities, Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM) is pleased to announce its most recent award recipients, in partnership with Fulbright New Zealand.

The Fulbright-Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Graduate Award is granted to promising New Zealand graduate students, in order for them to undertake one year of postgraduate study or research at a US institution in the field of Indigenous development.

Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga is once again developing new seed and scope research projects that contribute to our research themes:

- Whai Rawa
- Te Tai Ao
- Mauri ora
- Te Reo me Ngā Tikanga Māori

We are looking to develop and commence projects that contribute to our outcomes and vision, by providing a small contestable fund through our network that will initiate excellent research that has transformative potential.

NPM Researcher Associate Professor Melinda Webber from the University of Auckland was elected a general councillor onto the Royal Society Te Apārangi Council in late May.

Melinda is a former Fulbright-Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Scholar who has published widely on the nature of Māori identity. Her research examines the ways race, ethnicity, culture and identity impact the lives of young people, particularly Māori students.
